We are brimming with Christmas stock and gifts galore. This year i have concentrated on buying a lot of smaller gift items which serve lots of gift ideas for friends, teachers gifts or simply something to take along to a summer barbecue, when you are told not to bring a thing.

Even a decoration makes a lovely gift idea.......

The store is full of wrapping inspirations.

Lots of candles , cushions , and other body products.....all make great gifts.

Our new clock ; just arrived. Don't leave things to the last minute, be prepared and get in early to get your choice of what we have available in store. Look forward to seeing you.....x

Things are in full swing in store.....with Christmas decorations going up next week and the preparation of our new on line store. With lots of new and vintage goodies flooding into store there is an element of excitement in the air.

These wonderful cubes made from re-cycled timber are great for storing wine or other bits and pieces ; like i have displayed in the above photo. They also make great bed side tables.

This week i have been planning some changes for the store. We are thinking about painting the outside a different colour; and in the file i pulled out this delightful store called two sisters.....thinking mm could The Vintage Rose look good in these tones. Tell me what you think.

We are also going to be making more unique products for the store for our walk in customers plus our online customers to enjoy; yes you heard right finally i am taking the plunge and organising a online store. So stay tuned for the opening day where we will have a wine and cheese celebration to release our new products and the opening of our online store. There will be lots of new products that we have up-cycled and made; so we are all pretty excited about all the changes going on.

Not to mention the release of all our lovely new Christmas products.

Gorgeous new linens......

And some lovely antique furniture thrown in amongst everything else. Take care and have a lovely weekend.
